Marcia Funebre Sulla Morta d'un Papagallo - Charles Valentin Morhange Alkan

Featured in the now discontinued Alkan: A Synposium CD
Conducted by Ronald Smith

One Alkan's more humourous works, Funeral March on the Death of a Parrot is said to be satire on the romantic opera composer Rossini, who had an affinity for parrots.

Libretto:
"As-tu déjeuné, Jaco?"
"Et de quoi?"
"Ah!"

Have you eaten, Jaco?
And what?
Ah!!
